Developer SoClap today announced that the martial-arts action game Sifu had a remarkable commercial performance during its first week, surpassing total sales exceeding 500,000 copies. News about these figures were shared on Twitter via the official Sifu account.

Sifu has received a mixed critical reception though. Some reviewers were not fond of the game as most people were, and they reflected this in their scores, but we surely appreciated the challenging design of the game, but it sometimes really feels unnecessarily punishing. Still though, Sifu is a game that will surely be enjoyed by an enthusiast audience.
